The editor of the Planet, the colored
peoples organ of Virginia, published at
Petersburg, is doing his rart in the hot
Virginia campaign by preaching social
equality with all his might, without any
mincing of words. He doesn't intend it
that way, but he is doubtless helping the
Democrats very much in solidifying the
white vote, and that of course means a
Democratic victory.

The Travellers Tree.

a European on his way from the coast
of Madagascar to the capital, Tananarivo,
in the interior had emptied his water-fask,
and was suffering from thirst. He asked
one of the natives of his party where he
should be able to obtain water.
"Any time you like" said the native,
smiling.
The European saw no signs of springs of
water; but the natives conducted him to a
group of tall palm-like trees, standing in a
cluster on the edge of the forest with
straight trunks and bright green, broad
leaves growing from the opposite sides OF
the stalk, and making the tree appear like
great fan. The white man gazed admir-
ingly at the tree.
'You think it is fine tree" said the
native, "but | will show you what it is
good for"
He pierced the root of one of the leaf
stems at the point where it joined the
tree, with his spear, whereupon a stream
of clear water spurted out, which the Eu-
ropean caught in his water-can and found
COOL fresh and excellent to drink.
The party having satisfied their thirst
and taken supply, the native who had
spoken went on
"This tree, which is good for us in more
ways than one, we call the travellers tree"
" But where does the water come from
that the tree contains ?" asked the white
man. Is it taken from the soil ~
ooh, no." said The native, "the leaves
drink in the rain that falls on them, and
when it has passed all through them it be-
comes very pure and sweet"

Haly,s Olive OH Manufaoturers.

The member of a large olive oil manu.
featuring firm of Port Maurice, Italy, is
now in st. Louis In an interview he
said: Our olive grounds cover a great
many acres, and the trees are hundreds of
years old. They commence bearing at ten
years, and produce a crop every third year
thereafter. Occasionally tree will bear
twice in two years, but this is something
unusual But crop at any time is very
uncertain, for if We have no rain we have
no olives. The season lasts from six to
eight months, and every day during this
time we have 100 or more girls gathering
them. They are never taken from the tree,
but are picked up as they fall on the
ground. The number of girls necessary,
therefore, depends a great deal upon
whether the wind is blowing or not. After
the olives are gathered they are carried in
baskets to the mill, where the oil is pressed
out of them. 1t is then strained through
cotton to clarity it, and it is ready for
market. From 300 pounds of olives we
will get about thirty pounds of oil, or
little over ten per cent. The olives which
ripen in May make the clearest and most
expensive oil, and that made in September
is the cheapest. We always take our or
ders year in advance. A great amount
of cotton-seed oil is mixed with little
olive oil in this country and sold for the
pure article, but an examination will ex-
pose the adulteration'

Rosebuds in a Divorce Suit.

The dreary monotony of divorce case
was dragging its soiled length along in
Judge Hicks Court Saturday. The woful
contestants were listening eagerly, when a
handsome, broad-shouldered youth entered
the room with a young lady on his arm.
He was overlooking with Joy. His face
was constantly wreathed in smiles which
seemed to fill the gloomy Courtroom. She
was happy, too bashfully, surreptitiously
happy, and she looked shyly from behind
her stalwart lovers arm.
They wanted TO be married. The di-
vorce suit was suspended at once, for the
Court will stop unmaking a marriage to
make one any time. The ceremony was
performed. The young man drew out s.
bill and placed it before the Judge. With
his brightest smile aud speech as gallant
as Chesterfield could make, he presented
1t to the bride. The little lady accepted
the money, and with quick,
graceful movement, she drew the bouquet
OF roses from her bosom and placed it be-
fore the Judge. With bow he received
the rosebuds, and few minutes later he
returned to the divorce suit, but the sweet
odor peryaded the dingy COURTROOM all
that day.-HinneapOiiS Journal

A Wonderful ArmIess Man,

Recently there died at Potsdam, n. Y.
a wonderful man, says the Augusta Ciron-
icle. An accident deprived him of both
arms, which were amputated at the shout
der. He earned living by using his feet
and his mouth instead of his arms. We
are told that he owned horse of which he
took the entire care, harnessed it, fastened
and unfastened the buckles with his teeth,
and drove with reins tied around his
shoulders. Being in need of wagon, he
bought wheels and axles and built box
buggy complete and painted it. He went
to the barn one winter day and built a
constable, saving the timber with his feet,
and with the hammer in one foot and
holding the nail with the other, he nailed
the boards on as we'll as most men could do
with their hands. He dug a well twelve
feet deep on farm in the town, and
stoned it himself. He could move away
hay by holding the fork under his chin aud
letting it rest against his shoulders He
could pick up potatoes in the field as fast
as a man could dig them. He would dress
himself get his meals, write his letters,
and in fact do almost anything that any
man with all his physical faculties unim-
paired mourns because he cannot get along,
and yet this armless brother made himself
independent without arms or hands He was
like the Christian hero, who, when his
lower limbs were shot away. wrote to the
woman he was engaged to marry, releasing
her. She answered: az will marry YOU
if you have enough body remaining to
contain your noble soul I"

THE LOOM OF LIFE.

Al day, all night, / can hear the jar,
OF the loom of life, and near and far
1t thrills with its deep and muffied sound,
As the tireless wheels go always round.
Busily, ceaselessly goes the loom
In the light of day and the midnights gloom
The wheels are turning early and late
And the wooi is wound in the warp of fate
Click, clack, there's thread of love wove in.
Click, clack and another of wrong and sin:
What a checkered thing VIII this life be
When we see it unrolled in eternity?
Time, with face like mystery,
And hands as busy as hands can be-
Sits at the loom with its warp outspread,
To catch in its meshes each CHANGING thread
When shall this wonderful web be done?
In thousand years, perhaps, or one,
Or tomorrow. Who knoweth? Not you or T.
But the wheels turn on, and the shuttles fly
All sad eyed weaver, the years are slow,
But each one is nearer the end, know;
And some day the last thread shall be Wove in
God grant it be love instead of sin.
Are we spinners of wool for this life-web-say?
Do we furnish the weaver a thread each day ?
1t were better, then, o my friend to spin
a beautiful thread than a thread of sin.
